Dump trailer

Anyone have a Bri-mar dump trailer?? Any issues I should look out for??
Also looked at ez-dumper. What do you guys think of dump inserts?
The bri-mar dump was a 6X10 for $3550. Didnt price the ez-dumper trailers
yet.............

better question is how do you plan on using it? Get a low profile if you want to tow a skidder than low profile is better, if your getting it for materials then you get better dumping with over the tires. Goosenecks hold more angle better and give you a place to put extra buckets.

remember a dump trailer that is rated for less than 10,000 lbs is not worth the money spent, and if your choice is a 6x10 10k or a 7x14 10k trailer the 6x10 actually can hold more because the trailer itself weighs less.

They weigh in close to 1200 lbs if I remember right. The 10k rated units weigh in around 1800 or so. For the bit extra money, I'd definitly go for the 10k gvw. th 7k just seems as if you'll easiy out grow it to fast.

I have a Bri-Mar, 12,000# LPHD...it is awesome. I bought it last year but we have one at work (at my PT gig) and it's been through Hell in the past 10 years and it is still going! That's why I decided on Bri-mar. It's an expensive trailer but well worth it. I would agree that the weight of an empty trailer really takes away from what you can actually put in it. I can put 8440# in mine, legally. I tow it with an F-550, so it's like not even behind me! Don't get under a 10,000# dump trailer, that is, if you have the truck to tow it.

Pulling a smaller skid steer is fine, but it's a bit akward....i'd get a dedicated trailer for that if I had a MTL, it'd be a better ride.

Out east take a look at PJ trailers, they make a great trailer and you could probably drive and get it direct. We have an ABU 14' 16000lb. and there are days I wish we could carry more weight, so go as heavy as your wallet will afford.
